...and thats the first home run!

Yeah...the title exemplifies the feeling of having completed a whole year post the most significant event in one's life (er...is there a doubt?). My in-laws were in town. We took the day off. It was a Tuesday. We had collected some of our snaps together since marriage and increased the number of photo-frames by over 1000% and dressed up the apartment for the day. Got up late (woke up early but got out of bed late :-) if you know what I mean) and kept our stomachs empty till the sumptious luncheon at the Taj. Saw a movie that evening and gave a lot of time to ourselves.
A year gone by and by God's grace, a LOT more to come...

Lifeline


There are many lines that play a pivotal role in one's life, especially post marriage: common ones that are needed for electricity, telephone, internet, cable TV among others, lines that decide your performance like sales lines, profit margins, attrition graphs and most importantly, your fate-line.

But a post marital line that forms an integral part of one's life is the clothes line. It decides whether one goes to work dressed well the next week. It decides whether you are equipped to give your next presentation well and whether you are going to sleep on clean sheets the next day. This line is also an important aspect in a post marital relationship. It helps decide whether you share your responsibilities well; it symbolises a nut and bolt in the wheels of a dual relationship and if you havent been seeing this line too many times in the past few days (and you arent one of those lucky ones to have enough helping hands at your house) then you better watch out!
We husbands better learn our lines fast!
